Micro-class Task Design

Towards Task Recommendation in Micro-Task Markets

As researchers embrace micro-task markets for eliciting human input, the nature of the posted tasks moves from those requiring simple mechanical labor to requiring specific cognitive skills. On the other hand, increase is seen in the number of such tasks and the user population in micro-task market places requiring better search interfaces for productive user participation. In this paper we pos...

BPMN Task Instance Streaming for Efficient Micro-task Crowdsourcing Processes

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is a standard for modeling and executing business processes with human or machine tasks. The semantics of tasks is usually discrete: a task has exactly one start event and one end event; for multi-instance tasks, all instances must complete before an end event is emitted. We propose a new task type and streaming connector for crowdsourcing able to ...

Implant Surface Micro-Design

The application of implants for dental and orthopedic surgery has increased rapidly within the past few decades. In craniomaxillofacial surgery, different implant systems have been applied, for example, for dental and bone replacement or osteosynthesis plates and screws. These implants may be made of pure titanium or a titanium alloy, usually titanium-aluminumvanadium (Ti-6Al-4V). The surface c...

Design Methodology in Micro Technology

In micro mechanics, there exist extensive activities making products and systems available according to customer’s needs in large-batch and medium-sized production. The predominant research effort concentrates on the constitution and optimisation of the processes for production, manipulation and quality assurance. An aspect how to reach the optimal function of a product in compliance with the r...
